Not a major question Jeff, but was there any mention of who the 10 repackaged figures are for the vintage line? I know it mentioned being "never before seen" on vintage cardbacks, so part of me leans towards things like the Evolutions Maul, Anakin, Jango, etc. So we've got 27 new/redecoed figures and 10 repacks for a total of 37 for 2010, right? I'm gathering that things like Fett and 4-LOM count as "redecoed" and not repacked.

Ok - so I've seen a hi-res shot of the 4-LOM/Zuckass exclusive - are they going to label them on the cards incorrectly or are the cards going to have the correct names and they're just going to show pictures of the incorrectly labelled cards?

And what's the deal with the Cloud Car Pilot? The slideshow shows a pilot with a moustache and the figure at the Hasbro booth did not. Is this another running change figure that may never come to pass?

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

True to Kenner vintage, they will be mixed up for the C5. Zuckuss will be labeled 4-LOM and vice-versa. So, you can get "4-LOM" 4-LOM in the basic wave and "Zuckuss" 4-LOM in the exclusive pack.

They hinted that you may see more of these "true Kenner" homages as the line goes on (BLUE coat Echo Base Han, Vinyl Cape Jawa, etc).

And what's the deal with the Cloud Car Pilot? The slideshow shows a pilot with a moustache and the figure at the Hasbro booth did not. Is this another running change figure that may never come to pass?

On the CCP - yeah, the loose proto on display was simply missing the mustache paint ap. The carded Cloud Car Pilot, which is production sample, had the mustache intact.

They indicated on the slides that the two Comic 2-pack convention exclusives will be "very limited" did they indicate how limited?

Limited enough that they won't be clearanced for cheap 2-3 months after the show. So, in other words, (parphrasing here) 'plentiful enough that those who want them can get them, but nowhere near the numbers of something like the McQ Grievous or SDCC Shadow Scout in recent years.'

Only one wave shown? A bit of a let down. At least the quality of what was shown makes up for it.

I have to agree. I was hoping to get a glimpse at Wave 2. The ESB wave definitely ended up being pretty solid. I was a bit surprised by the Cloud Car Pilot being all-new, but I'm still looking forward to getting a couple of them.
